#like I'm obsessed with the “back and forth” timeline storytelling for Cooper

[dichromaniac]

I'm never going to be over the meta of Copper Howard the actor being pushed to play a role where he's the "one man pushed too far" because that's what the corporate overlords want the hero to be. But here we (me) are frantically obsessing over the "good guy pushed to far" that Amazon and the writers allowed and created.

We are no better than the audiences of pre-war society. We want the same kind of character, the same kind of narrative.

And then there's Lucy, the "Sheriff " who still believes in right and wrong and community values.

Will we still root for Lucy if she keeps her promises to herself? Or do we relish her descent into the same pit of moral relativity Cooper inhabitants because it's the narrative that sells and comforts best???
